As a new year's resolution I decided to loose some weight. I've started hitting the gym regularly and made some progress. I used to weigh 86kg (according to my annual physical exam last December) and around June/July I hit 72kg. Recently I've noticed my weight going up again. It's now going back to 76-77kg. My problem is I can't seem to break the 72kg barrier. My goal is to be around 65-68kg by the end of the year.
My exercise routine is as follows:
Mon: 20 mins cardio + Push exercises
Tues: Rest
Wed: 20 mins cardio + Pull exercises
Thurs: Rest
Friday: 20 mins cardio + Lower Body/Core
Sat: Rest
Sun: Rest
My diet isn't really that strict.
Basically I avoid:
- anything fried
- anything with cheeze
- junk food
- soft/energy drinks
- rice (but I have rice once a week during the weekends)
What do I need to do to get back on track?
Do I need to add an extra day for cardio?
Should I start becoming stricter with my diet?
